WINNERS: Division one stroke winner and bronze International Bowl winner captain Leah Carr, division two runner-up Claire Holman, division two winner Leonie Phelps and nine holer winner Maureen Maloney. The Cummins Golf Club ladies were keen to swing their sticks last week after missing their weekly game the week before with the course practically underwater in some areas.

Wednesday was thestroke event, round threeof the International Bowl and round fourof the putting competition.

Ronda Glover unexpectedly made her day more challenging, snapping her putter shaft inhalf.

Unperturbed she used her number threeiron as a putter for the remainder of hergame and considering she had 18 putts over nineholes for the putting competition, she putted extraordinarilywell.

She described the incident as a “putt in the butt”.

Number sevengave a few players angst with the ball running down the slope and into the hazard.

The manicured fairway still allowedthe ball quite abit of run, which can be advantageous or, as on number seven, no advantage at all.

Ronnie Murchison and Chris Koch joined the ladies back in the 19th to wait for the tee stewards to checkthe cards before winners were announced.

Leah Carr won division one(98/74) and was bronze winner of the International Bowl,Claire Holman was division onerunner up (103/75) and birdied on17,Leonie Phelps wondivision two(109/77) and Maureen Maloney was the nine-holewinner(86/64).

Carmel Sheehan won the Eyre Travel nearest the pinfor division one and LeoniePhelps won Doug Watson’s nearest the pinfor division two.

The novelty for the day was apt considering it was round fourof the putting competition. For division oneand two it was the most number of oneputts, and for the nine holers it was the most twoputts.
